Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating account of the author's experiences as a rancher and hunter in the American West during the late nineteenth century. It offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in the history of the frontier, a time when the last great buffalo herds were disappearing and the cattle industry was rapidly expanding. The author vividly describes the harsh beauty of the Badlands, the challenges of managing a ranch, and the thrilling hunts for game like antelope, deer, elk, and mountain sheep. Through his personal stories and insightful observations, he paints a rich portrait of a vanishing way of life, exploring the complex relationships between humans, animals, and the rapidly changing landscape. He reveals the impact of westward expansion on the natural world and sheds light on the struggles between Native Americans and settlers vying for control of the land. The book ultimately captures the raw spirit of the frontier and offers a timeless testament to the resilience of both nature and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
